Ye Hongyu and Mu Qing followed.
The clouds moved farther and farther away, and the surrounding environment changed from the spacious streets with blue bricks and stone tiles to the narrow alleys with mud walls and mud floors.
He stopped in front of a mud house and reached out to knock on the old door panel that was creaking in the wind.
The inside suddenly opened, making Ye Hongyu and Mu Qing almost think that he just pushed the shaky door panel lightly and it was about to fall.
The person who opened the door was a little girl in a pink floral shirt, about eight or nine years old. Her round face and big eyes looked particularly cute.
Ye Hongyu suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"This is...little junior sister?"
It is indeed similar to Bai Zhi.
For a moment, the confused lines seemed to be sorted out, and he understood why the cold master, who had always rejected others, was so special to his junior sister.
"Brother, you're back!" The little girl's happy voice made Yun Ye seem to be in a much better mood.
The dull expression softened.
"This is the steamed bun brought back from the academy. I have already eaten it and brought it to you."
"Brother, come in quickly." The little girl happily took the wotou and pulled him into the house.
Ye Hongyu and Mu Qing also entered the door together.
There was only a table, chairs and a straw mat in the house. It looked very shabby, but it was clean and tidy. The leaks were plugged with hay, and the roof was filled with waterproof tarpaulin.
It's not very useful, but it's better than nothing.
The brother and sister sat at the table and talked for a while, and then Yun went out again.
From the conversation between the two siblings, they learned that the girl's name was Ling'er, and that Yun and Yun were not biological siblings. They were both abandoned children who depended on each other for warmth.
Before going out, Ling'er stuffed a piece of cake into him and said, "Brother has to work at night, so take it with you."
"Food at home is precious. You can keep this cake. There is also some food distributed at the medicine hall." Yun Ye declined and hurried out.
The girl in the room carefully wrapped the cake and stuffed it into her arms. She also crushed the buns given by Yun Ye bit by bit and put them into the broken bowl next to her.
Her little figure stood on tiptoe to look at the stove, laboriously opened the lid of the pot, added a little porridge that was so clear that it could be seen at the bottom, and drank it with a gulp.
After finishing the drink, she licked the bottom of the bowl and looked at the pot with unfulfilled interest.
Finally, put the bowl aside and cover the pot.
……
Ye Hongyu and Mu Qing, two immersive VR experiencers, followed Yun Ye to the medicine hall.
The environment here is not good. There are a lot of patients in the medicine hall. Years of war have made people's lives not very good. Even in the small medicine hall, you can feel that the world is not peaceful.
There were a lot of things to take care of at night, and Yun was so busy that he didn't have time to take a nap until almost dawn. The shopkeeper came over and gave him 8 copper coins.
The young man counted the coins on his palms, a smile on his tired face.
As the sky grew brighter, he walked briskly back to his small home. Ling'er poured the crushed steamed buns from the broken bowl into the porridge. Seeing that the white porridge, as clear as water, finally became a little thicker, she breathed a sigh of relief. He took a bowl and handed it to Yun Ye.
"Brother, you can eat it. I've already eaten it."
Yun Bu, who was in a hurry, didn't doubt him. After finishing the porridge, he took out the eight copper coins he earned from the medicine hall and handed them to Ling'er.
"The medicine hall is very short of people recently. During this period, I can help there every night. This is the daily money given by the shopkeeper. It's almost winter. If I make more money, I can buy some mattresses and keep my home warmer."
The girl nodded, waited until Yun Ye went out, dug out a small jar from the corner, and stuffed the copper coins into it.
When coins are thrown in, a dull sound can be heard from the bottom of the jar.
Yun Ye still studies hard and helps Mr. Jiang with some things during breaks. Mr. Jiang also takes great care of Yun Ye.
The lily of the valley flowers on the windowsill of the school gradually faded, and the leaves were not as green as before. They shrank day by day. The winter solstice is here...
Yun Ye put on a small coat that was fully patched. Ling'er said that she didn't go out and could hold the quilt at home, so she gave the small coat to Yun Ye.
But Linger herself was coughing more and more violently.
That night, the young man looked at her with worry in his eyes.
"Come with me to the medicine hall tomorrow."
"Brother, Ling'er is fine. Maybe it's too cold, so she keeps coughing."
Yes, this winter is extremely cold for some reason.
The boy took off his little coat, put it on the girl, held her cold hand, and then stretched out his hand to hold the little girl in his arms.
"Brother won't be going out tonight, I will stay with you."
"Brother is so nice."
The girl crawled into the boy's arms.
My brother's embrace is too warm.
……
"The gray forehead indicates the sign of death." Ye Hongyu said silently.
Mu Qing looked at the leaky walls, wrapped herself in a fox fur, and the ring around her waist jingled with her movements. She stood in this room with Ye Hongyu, who was dressed in red and had a jade belt. In the middle, the house looks even more dilapidated.
"The dung, earth, gold, jade, and treasures are still too much to be considered extravagant."
Mu Qing's voice was soft, but Ye Hongyu heard emotion from the third junior brother's tone for the first time.
It turns out that the third junior brother is not so indifferent to everything.
The noble disciple of the cultivation family suddenly gained a bit of popularity.
[Ye Hongyu’s favorability +10, currently 35. 】
How much extra?
More generous than the heroine.
Mu Qing looked sideways at Ye Hongyu.
"What's wrong, is there something on my face?" Ye Hongyu raised his hand and touched his face.
Mu Qing looked away and looked at the dark night outside the window without opening her mouth to explain.
Ye Hongyu:......
Forget it, his third junior brother cherishes words like gold, and he has become accustomed to his indifference.
Time flows very fast in the inner demon guide. Mu Qing glanced at the little girl held in Yun Ye's arms and knew that Yun Ye's first inner demon was coming to an end.
……
Yun Ye didn't sleep well that night. He could only hug her subconsciously, but it felt like he was holding an ice cube in his arms. The more he hugged her, the colder he got.
He opened his eyes suddenly.
"Jingle, bell? Wake up!"
He shook the girl, hoping that she would respond to him, but a paper package fell from her arms onto the straw mat with a muffled sound.
It is a complete piece of cake that has hardened.
Seeing that a dent had been made in the straw mat, he opened it again and found that the mat on the side where he usually slept was filled with furs of various animals, while the mat on her side was empty except for a few reeds.
He looked at the girl in his arms in shock, stretched out his hand towards her lips and nose, and the almost incomprehensible breath made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
The boy stood up in a flash and without having time to put on his shoes, he rushed out of the alley with the girl on his back, rushed to the street, and rushed to the nearest pharmacy.
"Boss, boss, open the door."
The palms of his hands were red, and the door panel of the shop made a clanging noise when he slapped it. The sound echoed throughout the silent street, but no one responded to him.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Please save my sister!"
With a cry in his voice, he ran to another house.
"Save my sister, save her."
The boy cried all the way, and he had no time to wipe away his tears and continued to run forward with the girl on his back.
When I ran to the medicine hall, there were only a few beds covered with white cloth, and there was no candlelight inside.
He got excited and continued to run forward with the girl on his back, talking randomly as he ran.
"Brother will not let anything happen to you, and nothing will happen to you!"
"Brother can't lose you."
He ran to the door of the academy and slapped the door of the academy hard.
"Sir, Mr. Jiang, save my sister! Mr. Jiang!"
After a while, the door was opened. Seeing Jiang Wen, Yun could no longer hold on and staggered and fell to the door.
"Please sir, save my sister!"
He was lying on the ground, his usual gentle and youthful demeanor was no longer there, and Jiang Wencai saw that his trembling figure was actually so thin.
